How often should I get my haircut?

It is recommended that you get a cut or trim every 4-8 weeks to maintain the health of your hair and keep it looking its best. If you notice split ends or breakage or your hair looks dull, it may be time for a trim or a cut. Getting a regular trim/cut will also help prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft and causing further damage.

  • Shorter hairstyles may need a cut every four weeks to keep your style looking fresh and in

shape.

  • If you're not growing your hair but want to keep to main the shape, come to the salon

every six weeks

  • If your hair is in good condition but you are growing it, a trim every eight weeks will suit

you.

  • If your hair is in bad condition and you want to grow the length, that'll be a whole

different blog post, and you should seek advice from your stylist.

So, which one should you choose?

If you're unsure, it's always a good idea to consult your hairstylist. They will be able to assess

your hair and recommend the best option...

What's The Difference Between A Cut And A Trim Or A Restyle?

When it comes to getting your hair cut, you might wonder what the difference is between a cut,
trim or a restyle.
Essentially the answer is nothing when it comes to the price of a cut or a trim, however, a restyle
will cost more depending on the complexity.
It takes the same time and process as a cut to carry out a trim. A restyle will take longer and will
need a consultation.
However, although cuts and trims can help improve the look and feel of your hair, there are a
few subtle differences.

1. What is a trim?
If a client asks for a trim, a stylist will interpret that the client requires ends off the hair to
remove damaged ends, which is usually about 1 cm. Trims are suitable for clients who want to
grow their hair and keep it healthy at the same time.
The cost at Gorgeous Hair salon from £28.00, duration of thirty minutes.

2. What is a cut?
A cut follows the same process as a trim but could be from 2.5 to 5 cm shorter. This is for a
client who wants to maintain their original style but...

Why Do I Need Skin Test?

 

Why I Need A Skin Test? 

Skin testing has become such a huge part of our salon culture over the last few years, it is so important for your safety but also for us, the stylists, as insurance companies are now really hot on what they will and won’t accept. 

 We are constantly updating our policies and procedures around this ever-changing world, and appreciate all of your continued support and understanding.

We offer a free in house allergy test (skin test) that can be carried out at your own convenience but must be at least 48 hours prior to any colour service you have with us.

Why is hypersensitivity to hair dye only becoming an issue now you might ask?

Well, it isn't only just becoming an issue now, but there has been a dramatic increase in hypersensitivity in recent years. An increase in incidents, and an increase in the severity and complexity.

This is compounded with an increasing trend towards the use of darker more contrasting...

Coronavirus-Gorgeous Salon Closure & Reopening Information

22nd March 2020

It is with a sad and heavy heart I write this post.

 Due to this impossible nightmare situation, we have all found ourselves in and after long deliberation, we feel it would be irresponsible for us to stay open any longer.

 To keep our stylists, barbers, juniors, and our lovely, loyal clients safe, we have decided we have no option but to close indefinitely until it's safe for all of us to return.

 We are currently closing down our operation and some of us have decided not to return to the salon with immediate effect, however, a few stylists are making Tuesday 24th March our last day.

 We are in the process of contacting all our clients that still have an appointment, and would like to apologise to anyone who has been inconvenienced by our decision.

 We will return better, eager, and stronger and will keep you posted and entertained on our Facebook page. Please visit us there for updates. Gorgeous Hair Salon Facebook Page

Be kind, stay...
